This image provided by Warner Bros. from Oliver Stone's 1991 movie "JFK" shows Kevin Costner as New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison demonstrating the "magic bullet" theory. Critics say Stone's film has done more than anything to shape the public's perception of President John F. Kennedy's assassination. "He made this kind of paranoid conspiracy theory respectable," says New York writer Arthur Goldwag, author of "Cults, Conspiracies, and Secret Societies." The movie tells the story of a New Orleans District Attorney played by Kevin Costner. Garrison remains the only prosecutor to bring someone to trial for an alleged conspiracy to kill Kennedy.
